This study examines the changes in attractiveness and social perception of mask wearers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before COVID-19, masks were seen as a sign of infection, decreasing the wearer's attractiveness. However, with the widespread normalization of mask-wearing during the pandemic, the perception mechanisms have become more complex. The attractiveness and social perception of mask wearers now vary based on factors such as the wearer's baseline attractiveness, race, and attitudes toward masks. Consequently, research findings on perception changes due to mask-wearing have been inconsistent. This inconsistency is due to the lack of standardized experimental methods and the failure to account for individual differences among participants, as well as insufficient theoretical background in the studies. From a psychiatric perspective, it is essential to formulate and test new hypotheses centered around the psychological mechanisms related to the human behavioral immune system when studying attractiveness perception during a pandemic. Notably, attention should be given to how differences in the activation of individuals' behavioral immune systems influence perceptions of mask wearers. Understanding these dynamics can provide crucial insights into how social perceptions and aversions impact mental health, thereby shedding light on various psychiatric issues that arise during infectious disease outbreaks.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of name attractiveness on self-efficacy and emotional awareness in adult men and women. The subjects of this study were 300 males and females in their 10s and 30s living in the metropolitan area. However, 250 copies, excluding missing questionnaires during the collection process and incomplete questionnaires, were used for the analysis. As a result of analyzing the difference in name attractiveness according to factors, the lower the age group and the lower the academic level, the more dissatisfied they were with their names. Besides, the regression analysis conducted to verify the effect of name attractiveness on self-efficacy showed that the model's fitness was R²=.382 and the model's explanatory power was somewhat inferior, but β=.322, t-value 9.276, p<.001 were shown to be statistically significant, so name attraction directly affects self-efficacy. And the results of the regression analysis conducted to verify the effect of name attractiveness on emotionality turned out to be R²=.412. The regression analysis, which controls demographic variables such as gender, age, and academic level, was statistically significant as β=.326, t-value 6.408, p<.001. In other words, the name attractiveness affects emotional awareness. There is no empirical study that the name attractiveness can improve happiness or the quality of life, but it seems often among athletes that names are enhanced by the past.

Most marketing practitioners prospect that the beauty industry, which consists of various services and product related to the beauty, will be one of major industries in future. Thus they have been paying more attention to dramatic changes of the beauty industry. Furthermore they have been trying to differentiate their services and products from existing ones because of the tough competition in the market. For scientific marketing of the beauty services and beauty products, the beauty should be able to be measured. However marketing practitioners have no actual method to measure the beauty. In this study, we tried to find the beauty dimensions which are necessary to measure the beauty, based on Langmeyer and Shank(1994)'s study. We collected a total 258 samples as data through survey on university students, and explored the beauty dimension related to human attractiveness, and derived the implications for measuring the beauty. Based on the quantitative analysis, we derived the 4 beauty dimensions related to human attractiveness. The two of them were the inner beauty dimensions(energetic personality and thoughtful personality) whereas the others were the outer beauty dimensions(appearance and style). Additionally we analyzed if the variables, which are gender, perceived social value of beauty, and appearance satisfaction, affect on respondents' beauty perception. The empirical results showed that the beauty perception in the derived beauty dimensions is affected by the perceived social value of beauty and the appearance satisfaction: 1)The both of the inner beauty and the outer beauty are evaluated more positively when the appearance satisfaction is higher, 2)The outer beauty is evaluated more positively than the inner beauty when the perceived social value of beauty is higher.

화장품의 개발에서 기계적인 측정결과 뿐만 아니라 소비자가 실제 사용할 때 느껴지는 감성적인 요인의 중요성이 높이 인식되어감에 따라, 관능적인 특성평가의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 그런 관점에서 트원케익에 대한 사용성 테스트의 한 방법으로 기호형 관능평가를 시도하였고, 본 실험에서는 동일한 소비자(28 명)가 9개의 트윈케익을 일정한 시간에 비슷한 화장 조건하에서 사용하여 비교 평가하도록 하여, 평가의 재현성과 신뢰성을 꾀하였다. 평가는 트윈케익의 세부 관능적 특성에 대한 강도 조사와 선호도 조사 및 전체적인 만족도에 대한 것이었다. 수집된 테이터를 주성분분석에 의해 데이터를 분석하였고, 그 결과 크게 커버력 요인과 입자감 요인이라는 2 가지 요인으로 트원케익의 특성을 평가할 수 있음을 알았다. 일반적인 트윈케익의 분류 방법인 촉촉함과 매트함의 경우, 매트함에 있어서는 트원케익의 공통적 속성으로 제품간 차이를 느끼지 못하였고, 촉촉함에 있어서는 트원케익제품간 차이를 약간 느끼는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 트윈케익의 관능적 특성별 강도와 선호도의 상관관계를 분석하였고, 그 결과에 따른 트윈케익의 (+)매력품질과 (-)매력품질을 분석하였는데, 선호도가 높은 제품이 되려면 여러 가지 (+)매력품질을 고루 갖추고,(-)매력품질을 적게 가져야 할 것으로 사료된다. 본 실험의 평가자들이 대부분 25∼30 세인 점을 감안하면 이 연령 대에서 선호도가 높은 트윈케익 제품의 특성은 커버력이 있으면서 고운 입자감을 느낄 수 있으며, 너무 촉촉하지도 매트하지도 않은 중간 상태와 자연스러운 화장상태를 유지하는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to reveal the effects of the VDSPA(Vulnerability to the Different Sex's Physical Attraction) on IOM(the intention of open marriages), the mediating effect of the SAEMR(Self Acceptance of Extra-Marital Relationship) and the moderating effect of gender. This is an empirical research based on data analysis obtained by surveying 655. The notable findings are as follow: First, respondents' perceptions of their own extramarital affairs(M=2.284) and open marriages(M=2.175) are generally negative, but women were more negative than men. Second, both men and women were vulnerable to the physical attraction of the opposite sex(M=3.569), especially men than women. Third, the more vulnerable to the physical attraction of the opposite sex, the more receptive to their own infidelity. The more receptive to their own extramarital affair, the more clear their intention to open marriage. Lastly, in the case of women, it is confirmed that the vulnerability of the physical attraction of the opposite sex has a significant effect on the intention of an open marriage, with the acceptability of the one's own infidelity as a mediator. In the case of men, there is no mediating effect of accepting their own extramarital affairs, which proved to be a moderating effect by gender. Unlike men, in the case of women, it is concluded that 'accepting their own extramaritality is a critical factor that directly or indirectly has a significant effects on their intention to open marriage.
